    Instructions

    1. For the rice, in a sauce pot add your water and bring to a boil. Thoroughly wash you rice and add it to the boiling water with the rest of the rice ingredients. Stir gently, cover, and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 45 minutes, until the rice is slightly overcooked, and drain the excess water/remove the thyme & garlic cloves. Set aside.
    2. For the stew, in a large pot over medium heat add your butter and olive oil along with your fresh sliced mushrooms. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring only a few times until they’re lightly golden.
    3. While those cook, add your boiling water to your dried mushrooms and let steep for 10 minutes. Drain the mushrooms but reserve the liquid for later.
    4. Once your mushrooms are lightly golden, add your shallots, garlic, tomato paste, salt & pepper to taste, fresh thyme, and your now rehydrated mushrooms.
    5. Cook that down, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes then add your all-purpose flour and mix/cook for another minute.
    6. Add your reserved mushroom steeping liquid along with your vegetable broth, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 30 minutes on low heat. Stir frequently, the stew should start to thicken by the end of the 30 minutes.
    7. Add in your wild rice, kale, and THIS PKN Pecan Milk, stir well to combine.
    8. Bring this back to a boil, reduce to a simmer & cook another 10 minutes until thick.
    9. Transfer into bowls, and top with a drizzle of THIS PKN Pecan milk, crushed red pepper, and fresh thyme for garnish if desired… then dig in & enjoy!
